Count me in to support the Conference in Mumbai and hold the yet to be developed bidding processes for next year...there's no time to lose...Espcecially since we have dates from Jimmy Wales.
Also FUND RAISING for the event should not be restricted to a particular group/city but all incoming funds should be directed to one person who heads the finance committee who has a Conference Account....that is transparent.
Fund raising, promoting the event and passing the word around should be everyone's effort.
Warm regards
